It has been a gloriously warm and sunny day today.
We finally finished clearing out our old home after an early 8 a.m. start and arrived back here in time for morning coffee by 10:30.
A walk into town after lunch to buy fruit and sit on a bench with an ice cream then lots more unpacking and sorting out.
After supper P suggested a short stroll as the sun was still shining and because easy access to walks was the main reason for moving.
It only took one hour ...
Is Ramsey named after Sir Alf Ramsey - the former England football manager? I wonder why they didn't call the town Alf instead.
ReplyDeleteThe name comes from the Old Norse hrams-á meaning wild garlic River. It certainly lived up to its name yesterday evening.
DeleteGood times all round and wonderful walks. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo far so good!
DeleteExcellent base for you JayCee.xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel. We are enjoying it xx
DeleteLooks a great base.Has most of your furniture gone into store?
ReplyDeleteWe gave away a lot of it in preparation for the move to the house we were supposed to be buying. Luckily we kept enough to bring with us as this place is let unfurnished.
DeleteFantastic to have that right on your doorstep. I bet you ‘use it’ a lot while you’re in that neighbourhood. Hopefully that’s where your next permanent home will be as well
ReplyDeleteWe can now wander around the town during the coming year to check out the best location for our permanent move.
DeleteI am learning about the I o M through you. So far it looks pretty good.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should ask the Tourism Dept for a commission!
DeleteIt looks nice and flat terrain to take a saunter and a stroll.
ReplyDeleteThe prom was indeed a good, flat walk but we walked up the hill at the end to The Hairpin bend on the TT course, which is just behind our house.
DeleteYou've moved into an area full of life and lots to explore. Enjoy your year there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. It looks promising so far.
DeleteIoM certainly does look like a beautiful island - be careful how well you sell it. An invasion of tourists might not enhance the peace and beauty of the place. (Although I guess the island can cope, as it does during the TT - Mr B has taught me to watch that on TV). xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteAh, but I only photograph the good bits. Perhaps I should do a post on the ugly stuff too?
DeleteIt's great to have the good weather after your move. A boost to the positive progress vibes.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly made a huge difference. Everything looks so much better when the sun shines.
DeleteSo glad it has all turned out alright for you both.
ReplyDeleteThank you Weaver
DeleteWonderful to have new paths and different vistas to explore.
ReplyDeleteA new lease of life for us both!
DeleteYou have settled in nicely, JayCee. Glad you are enjoying your new home. I wonder if you could or would offer to buy the place you are renting? Would that be a possibility?
ReplyDeleteIt will be nice, tho, to explore and find your next best place!
Funnily enough P did suggest that but I can see that it would not really be practical in the longer term. The layout and steep plot would be a problem as we get older but it is great for now.
DeleteWhat an beautiful place to live ….. have you always lived on the IOM JayCee ? XXXX
ReplyDeleteWe have only lived here for the past 30 years Jackie. Good move for us 🙂 xxx
